Connected to VPN Proxy but Internet Speed is Slow on iOS
Using a VPN can reduce your connection speed since data is routed through our servers. Follow these steps to diagnose and improve performance on iOS:
1. Consider Upgrading to Premium
- Premium subscribers gain access to our fastest servers, even during high-traffic periods.
- Enhanced bandwidth allocation helps maintain smoother browsing and streaming.
2. Measure Your Baseline Speed
- Disconnect from VPN Proxy.
- Visit speedtest.net to run a speed test without VPN.
- Compare results to your VPN-enabled tests to gauge the difference.
3. Optimize Your Local Network
- Disconnect devices not currently in use.
- Move closer to your Wi-Fi router or switch to Ethernet if possible.
- Restart your modem and router to clear potential issues.
- Close background apps and browser tabs that may consume bandwidth.
- Reboot your iOS device.
4. Switch Server Locations
- In the VPN Proxy app, find "fastest" server and try to connect to it.
- Choose an alternate server region (e.g., US, Europe) to find a faster route.
